Get Championship Ready!!
Let The Champs Begin!
This weekend signals the start of the RYA Youth National Championships where a record breaking number of competitors will battle it out in their 420's, 29er's, Lasers, RS's and Spitfires.

P&B know only too well the importance of 'getting championship ready' whether it's working on your boat or making sure you're fully equipped for a weeks sailing. P&B have a huge amount of clothing and chandlery available on-line and in-store which are perfect for all your championship campaigns. Some things we think are worth highlighting are the Gill Grip Gloves, Spinnaker Repair Tape, Crewsaver Ergofit Safety Knife, P&B Rash Vest, Falker Burgee, Gill Glare Sunglasses, Optimum Time Series 2 Watch and Marlow Whipping Twine.

Something else which is worth it's weight in gold is the extensive P&B Product Catalogue. Use this as a reference for all of those championship emergencies, such as broken blocks, disappearing shackles, wearing sheets and missing bungs/hatch covers. With the help from our mail order team and in house expertise if you order before 3pm (week days) you can receive your orders by the start of the next days racing!

If you're looking for specific product or just some simple advice get in touch with one of our helpful P&B team on 01604 592808.


 
Rash Vests!
Smoother Sailing With Spandex!
If you're planning on spending some time around the water park in the next couple of weeks then a good quality rash vest is arguably the most important bit of kit you'll need. Offering UV protection and preventing skin irritation our rash vests allow you to stay comfortable for longer meaning you get more time around and on the water. P&B have an array of different styles and colours in stock which includes the NEW Gul Swami, NEW Gul Riva, Crewsaver Phase2, Gill Sport and Zhik Spandex Top.

You can also check out our Spring Sale where there are some bargains to be had with price reductions on a variety of product including rash vests.


 
Kit Of The Week!
KIT of the WEEK!
Each week one of the P&B team will be looking into their kit bag and giving us an item that they simply wouldn't sail without!

This weeks 'Kit of the Week' comes from P&B sail maker and Enterprise sailor Steve Graham. Attending his first Enterprise event of the year at Middle Nene SC Steve was taking advantage of some recent rule changes by using a Split End Mainsheet. With the tails fixed to each corner of the transom Steve was able to maintain aft sheeting position which allowed him to centre the boom easily and increase pointing ability.

Split end sheets are a very popular option for many double handed classes and with P&B's in house rigging experts who can offer custom sheets to meet your spec why not get in touch on 01604 592808!
